i lie Sun" Moves Into New Building at 502 S. Main Si
The Mountains of The Heart
Several years ago, on my way back from the East Coast,
I stopped off in Vermont. One never-to-be-forgotten day I
drove out to, visit the newspaper editors in some of the smaller towns. In a little one-street-town nestling in the heart of
the mountains, I stood with the editor at the front door of
his office, looking up at the great peaks girdling the town.
The: clear blue sky, the, snow crowned mountains, whose rugged sides were purply green in the late afternoon sun, were
a vision of beauty.. I said, enviously, "How fortunate you are
who live here!"
Mv. editor friend looked at me with a soul-weary smile
and said: I know what you mean—but our hearts are always
striving to cross the mountains."
Each heart has its own mountain to cross. No matter
where we live, we feel that happiness lies on the other side
of the range, that, had our ways been laid in other places,
we could have done so much, we could have gone so far!
We condemn those who live on the other side of our
mountain for not making the most of their great opportunities. We forget that they, in turn, condemn us for not realizing how fair our own pathways are. Intolerance breeds on
both sides of the mountains, whether it be a physical barrier
or a mountain built of our own predjudice and ignorance.
Mountains are too often but misunderstandings. They
look impassable to those who see them from afar, or who look
up at them. But those who have the courage to approach
them, to face their difficulties, learn that there is always a
way through.
The trails of understanding are not easy. It requires the
•footsteps of many to make a road.
; ; But the reward of effort is great, When one reaches the
summit and sees, both sides of the mountiah—then is the
way made clear. Then is the hour understanding. Then has
the heart truly crossed the mountains.
Nkw Supreme Court Justice
There is plenty of controversy and a good many objections regarding Tom Clark as a member of the Supreme
Court.
As Attorney General, Mr. Clark has set in motion a
grand total of 160 anti-trust actions, as compared with the
average 42 such cases for each of his predecessors in the job.
Of course the new Court Justice has the right to exclude himself in the trial of cases that he is responsible for
having initiated.
Those pending in the lower courts include such_prime
actions as the recent suit to break up the duPont industrial
empire; a move to force the Alumium Company to dispose
of many of its plants and properties; the demand that American Telephone and Telegraph Co., divorce its long-time subsidiary, Western- Electric; a rate-fixing -i^arge against the
Investment BaMers Association of America and the Chicago
Mortage Bankers Association.
And the above, is <mly a part of the complications which
involve Mr. Clark inasmuch as he was kept active in some
of the Communist and treason prosecutions.
Clark has been involved in such a broad variety of prosecutions that; the National^Capital was somewhat surprised
when he was selected by the president for a place on the
Supreme Court.
Drastic Action Needed
It is desirable that Safety Councils, national and state
urge safety in traffic but there is a growing feeling that the-
only way traffic is ever going to be made safe and sane in
this country is to legislate from the highways of this country
those unfit to drive an automobile. One way to do this is to
suspend driver's licenses of careless and unsafe drivers. Unless and until this is done we are going to continue to see
ninety percent of the traffic accidents caused by ten percent
of the unfit drivers. A plan has been suggested that is meeting with much favor, provides that for the first accident the
license shall be suspended for a year. If the same person is
involved in another accident his license shall be suspended
for two years, for a third accident four years, and so on. In
this way a driver is given a chance to correct his careless
driving habits and if he doesn't he is automatically barred
from driving at all. It sounds drastic but it is a drastic situation which must be met.
Taft Hartley Law Still Stands
, President Truman won the election last November, but
he, did not receive a majority of the popular vote. The 81st
Congress, elected with him, does not support some of the
campaign pledges made by Mr. Truman—notably repeal of
the Taft-Hartley labor law in toto and restoration of the lopsided Wagner Labor Relations Act. Nor does it stand for increases in taxes and some of the heavy spending px-ograms—
for social assistance—which are included in the Truman program.
. By a vote of 51-42 the Taft substitute for the Administration bill finally passed. In the House, the division over the
la^or bill was so close that neither the Administration forces
nor their opponents were able to win a clear-cut victory—and
the bill was recommitted.

The Mountains of The Heart
Several years ago, on my way back from the East Coast,
I stopped off in Vermont. One never-to-be-forgotten day I
drove out to, visit the newspaper editors in some of the smaller towns. In a little one-street-town nestling in the heart of
the mountains, I stood with the editor at the front door of
his office, looking up at the great peaks girdling the town.
The: clear blue sky, the, snow crowned mountains, whose rugged sides were purply green in the late afternoon sun, were
a vision of beauty.. I said, enviously, "How fortunate you are
who live here!"
Mv. editor friend looked at me with a soul-weary smile
and said: I know what you mean—but our hearts are always
striving to cross the mountains."
Each heart has its own mountain to cross. No matter
where we live, we feel that happiness lies on the other side
of the range, that, had our ways been laid in other places,
we could have done so much, we could have gone so far!
We condemn those who live on the other side of our
mountain for not making the most of their great opportunities. We forget that they, in turn, condemn us for not realizing how fair our own pathways are. Intolerance breeds on
both sides of the mountains, whether it be a physical barrier
or a mountain built of our own predjudice and ignorance.
Mountains are too often but misunderstandings. They
look impassable to those who see them from afar, or who look
up at them. But those who have the courage to approach
them, to face their difficulties, learn that there is always a
way through.
The trails of understanding are not easy. It requires the
•footsteps of many to make a road.
; ; But the reward of effort is great, When one reaches the
summit and sees, both sides of the mountiah—then is the
way made clear. Then is the hour understanding. Then has
the heart truly crossed the mountains.
Nkw Supreme Court Justice
There is plenty of controversy and a good many objections regarding Tom Clark as a member of the Supreme
Court.
As Attorney General, Mr. Clark has set in motion a
grand total of 160 anti-trust actions, as compared with the
average 42 such cases for each of his predecessors in the job.
Of course the new Court Justice has the right to exclude himself in the trial of cases that he is responsible for
having initiated.
Those pending in the lower courts include such_prime
actions as the recent suit to break up the duPont industrial
empire; a move to force the Alumium Company to dispose
of many of its plants and properties; the demand that American Telephone and Telegraph Co., divorce its long-time subsidiary, Western- Electric; a rate-fixing -i^arge against the
Investment BaMers Association of America and the Chicago
Mortage Bankers Association.
